Accommodations in Croatia: Holiday Home or Hotel?

Admittedly, tastes differ, but when it comes to deciding between a holiday home or hotel, there are some clear advantages that lean towards the holiday home. Especially during the pandemic, family vacations in a private holiday home were still possible when hotels became difficult, risky, or uncomfortable!

Particularly in our modern or rustic accommodations in Croatia, you can spend your vacation in a truly authentic way. A typical Croatian holiday home or a hotel with standard rooms? Well, for us the decision is easy – in the authentic and well-equipped holiday home, you can fully focus on your vacation and are completely independent of hotel rules, fixed meal times, or other restrictions.

What other advantages do the holiday home or hotel offer you? We have compiled some of the most important points for you in this article.

Privacy and Independence – Holiday Home or Hotel

When choosing between a holiday home or a hotel, it always depends on what you want to do on your vacation. If you spend the entire day at the beach and only need a place to sleep at night, a hotel can be a solution. However, in bad weather, a hotel room can quickly become boring. Not so in a holiday home, where you have much more freedom, especially if you are traveling with children. For groups, the question of holiday home or hotel also tends to favor the holiday home.

In a holiday home you have:

Lots of space, even for a large family or group of friends
Your privacy, because the neighboring villas are further away
Completely free time management, because you are not tied to meal times or pool times.

Holiday Home or Hotel – Also a Question of Budget

When considering a holiday home or hotel, the price question always comes up. What is more expensive: holiday home or hotel? Generally, vacationers think that a holiday home is more expensive or even unaffordable, but that is not the case. The exact price depends on various factors, such as location and amenities, but also on how many people share the cost of the holiday home. Therefore, holiday homes are the ideal and affordable solution, especially for group trips.

What other costs arise when vacationing in a holiday home or hotel?

Unlike well-equipped villas or holiday homes, hotels offer various wellness or fitness services only for an additional fee. However, our properties are equipped with their own pool and fitness equipment, which you can use completely free of charge.

Additionally, there are costs for food. Self-cooked meals in a holiday home or hotel meals that you may not like or cannot enjoy due to allergies? This problem does not arise with a holiday apartment, as you are the chef here.

In a hotel, you might pay for meals but miss breakfast or dislike the offered lunch. In your own holiday apartment, you can decide when and what to eat and therefore have full control over food costs. Moreover, you can always enjoy local snacks on your excursion tours, which would not be available in the hotel.

The Right Holiday Home for Every Taste

Hotel rooms are usually spartan and functional, meeting a certain standard. Therefore, choosing a hotel is often more dependent on price or additional services. However, if you want to book a holiday home or hotel in Croatia, you have a huge selection with the holiday homes from Crovillas that also take into account many individual wishes. Holiday homes offer better amenities than a hotel room can!

Holiday Home or Hotel – What Location Do You Prefer?

We have holiday homes inland, directly by the sea, or even in the middle of the city. There is always something suitable for excursionists, reclusive romantics, or water lovers and party animals!

What amenities do you prefer in a holiday home or hotel?

We have villas tailored to fitness enthusiasts, but also properties designed for party people and holiday apartments suitable for family vacations. Sauna, whirlpool, children's playground ... you have the choice!

Are children and pets welcome in a holiday home or hotel?

Children and pets are not always welcome in a holiday apartment or hotel, but our properties are family-friendly. Here you can plan suitable properties for a vacation with your children or dogs. We are also happy to assist you in making your selection!

Holiday Home or Hotel: Great Comfort and Many Extras

It is often criticized that holiday apartments offer less comfort, but is that really the case? Of course, when deciding between a holiday apartment or a hotel, it also matters whether you like to call room service and have tasks done for you. In a holiday apartment, there is no service button. You have to make your bed daily – or not, that's up to you – clean, wash, or cook.

At Crovillas, we offer you well-equipped holiday apartments that provide everything you need for a comfortable vacation. And for all properties: We also have great extras for you! Upon request, we offer you a babysitter, a shuttle, a private chef, or a yacht charter. We are happy to explain more about these options when you book!
